(408) 746-3040

I am a telemarketer and I wish to remain anonymous. I work part-time from an outbound only call center in New York. There is absolutely no way any of our calls can be traced as we go through a 3rd party caller-ID masking service to protect us against accidental NDNCR contacts.

After calling this number 408-746-3040, I had my headset beep. At first I didn’t know it was an incoming call, because in the 4+ years I have worked here it has never beeped. I had no way to answer the call until I mouse-clicked the “Call Next Party” on our call center computer. Someone came through on my headset with a strange series of tones and asked if my call was complete with 408-746-3040. I thought it was a supervisor with our telemarketing company. So, like an idiot I said I had 40 minutes left until break. Then the caller stated “what is the purpose of your call?” I thought…how the f**c did this number call me back? So I said I was calling from an outbound call center which does not accept any incoming calls. I asked the caller how he was able to call me back.

Here’s what freaked me out: He replied “We denied your outbound request, this call is now logged with all routing identifiers” and gave me the number I was calling from (WHICH WAS ONE OF OUR MAIN NUMBERS). He further stated “please do not call this number again” and was gone after a series of clicks.
